Fetal movement anyone?

Is anyone feeling their babies move yet? I have felt jelly bean move a lot the past 2 days. Today we heard a faint HB on our doppler. We could also hear the baby moving around in there. I am so exctied and i recommend everyone getting the Hi bebe heart doppler

Everyone told me when I was preg with my son that it was gas and they are saying the same thing again. I dont have flutters when I am not pregnant so I dont think it is gas. I ordered my doppler from amazon.com

Here's a link to a great site that rents fetal dopplers. They are the kind they use in the dr's office. They are pretty affordable too. I didn't rent one last time but girls on my board did and loved them. Here's the link:

If you ask your dr about this, they will probably discourage you from getting one due to you not being able to find the hb (dr's know what there doing, we are winging it). With my high risk OB he said there was one patient who actually benefited from having it, in terms of loosing the baby which was the basis of me asking that question. Lots of women freak when they can't find it when the baby is really ok. Stress is not good for mamas.

Other than that if you can take it in stride, and not panic if you have trouble finding the h/b, I think they would be wonderful hereing it all the time and the ladies on my other board did love it.

I think it depends because I felt my son at 12 wks. They were flutters that would only come at night when I was laying on my back. They then became more intense and of course became kicks amd rolls. I'm not expecting to feel this baby until around that time as well.

12 weeks is different though...the baby is much bigger than one 6-8 weeks. At 6 weeks the embryo is about the size of a lentil bean with buds for arms and legs. At 8 weeks even though it has arms and legs it's kidney bean sized. It's impossible to feel something that small move. Especially behind all the uterine tissue.

I'm not trying to discredit anyone...obviously they can believe what they like lol...just don't want any worry to fall upon any first time Mommies because they think they should be feeling movements! :)

I didn't feel movement until about 18-19 weeks with my daughter. I remember feeling "flutters" starting from maybe week 14 or 15 but didn't know for sure if it was the baby or gas!! There was no mistaking though when I felt my first kick. It's wonderful and I look forward to feeling those again....but I don't think it is until much later than now.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's impossible to feel the baby move this early. I feel "flutters" all the time, and the i pass gas. hahah. It's gas, not the baby. The babys is the size of a raspberry, and has no strength to make his/her movements noticeable. I'd talk to my doctor about it though, cause none of us are OB's.

I have actually felt the baby move too, and I know it isn't gas. I know what gas feels like. I mostly feel it move if something is pushing on it, but I have asked my doctor and they said that if you have a small uterus and a small build that you can in fact feel the baby when it flutters. I don't understand why everyone on this discussion has to be so negative. If someone thinks they feel the baby and it makes them happy, why is it any of your business to try and upset them. You obviously can't know what they are feeling, because you aren't feeling it too. I have felt what she is talking about and believe me it isn't gas. There is no gas following it isn't in the same place as gas or anything. I think it is great that you are feeling the baby move and even better that with that comes positive energy and a happy outlook. The positive energy that you have during pregnancy can transfer to your baby and so can the negative energy. If these other women want to transfer negative pessimistic attitudes to their baby that is their business. I am going to stay with you and be happy that I know I am feeling my baby flutter and move.

just wondering where are you ladys feeling fluttering?? because if its not really low down in your pelvic area (between your hip bones right above your pubic area) then it cant really be baby because baby is currently very low in your pelvis and will move up as baby grows.... however i too feel strange sensations in my tummy early in pregnancy with my kids and i think it is because even early in pregnancy your organs are moving out of the way and arranging your body to acomadate your baby perhaps we are feeling some of the other changes going on in our bodys and no i agree it doesnt feel like gas

also i have to say right now your baby has NO mucsles and NO bones and NO real arms or legs also is only the size of a blueberry there really is NO way to feel that

so back to my original question where do you feel movement at????? because im very curious to know

I'm not being negative it's the truth. Any fetal maternal medicine doctor who has more education and knowledge would agree the earliest you could possib;y feel your baby flutter would be 12 weeks and that's if your slim and very aware to what is happening with your body. If you want to imagine it's a baby go ahead I would rather wait till I actually know my baby fluttering because at 8 weeks your uterus is the size of a grapefruit and still under the pubic bone and the baby is the size of a bean.

I do feel the movement very low it actually happens right where the baby is; and everything says the baby is fluttering already. I also know what my organs moving feel like and it doesn't feel like fluttering it isn't comfortable at all. If you would prefer not to believe me that is fine.

good point about the babys location because i get these "sensations" of movement but its under my right rib cage almost-if that makes sense. but it would make sense if my organs and other things are moving around in that spot and not the baby (since we know the baby isnt there yet).

Thanks for sticking up for me. I am not an idiot and I know what I have felt. I know what it feels like if I have to FART and this is totally different, haha. Anyways, I am glad you feel jelly bean too. I can feel it move when DH listens to its heartbeat. I can feel the pressure pushing against the doppler wand. Some women are just, well negative. I, on the other hand am a very positive person and dont let others get me down!!! Oh and it seems we have a board full of OBs and midwives that know it all.
